Since our little man was born, we have realized how crazy the holiday season really gets for most people. There’s a bizarre primal instinct that wells up in parents and makes them want to purchase everything they see for their children.

This is my favorite time of the year! We have been busy busy this past week getting all of our Christmas decorations out. For some reason, the husband has decided that three Christmas trees are necessary in this new house, so I’m trying to figure out a budget-friendly way to decorate them all! Of course,…

Hello everyone! I hope you ALL had a fantastic Thanksgiving…and maybe even fell into a turkey-induced coma. My day was wonderful.

I have been a bad blogger. *head hung low* I must apologize to all of you wonderful followers {if you’re still reading} for my lack of posts recently. Life has been so crazy for my family lately. As you might recall, the husband works at a large church in our area, and as you could…

So, this might be the best pie I have ever tasted…for real. I am not a huge fan of fruit pies…never have been. Up until recently, I haven’t liked many pies other than my mom’s Chocolate Pecan Pie. But, when I was planning for the first Thanksgiving at our home, I knew I needed pie…
